Cheesy Potluck Potatoes

I often forget to plan ahead and post a holiday-themed recipe before the holiday actually occurs so that you all can make it too, but this time I remembered! I am so proud of myself. I know a lot of people make ham as their main course for Easter, and one of the most popular side dishes for ham is a warm, creamy, cheesy potato casserole. I think almost everyone has eaten some version of these potatoes. When brainstorming a light version I ran across many similar recipes titled “funeral potatoes” which made me do a double take. I’m assuming the moniker comes from this dish’s prevalence at potluck gatherings, so I am incorporating potluck into the title instead of funeral. It just sounds more appetizing! I’m not always a huge sour cream fan, but I love the tangy flavor it brings to this dish. You can make this with the traditional cream of chicken soup, but it tastes just as good with cream of mushroom for a vegetarian option. This is a generous portion for a side dish, so make sure to leave room on your plate. The potatoes make really good leftovers too, so feel free to hide some before they’re all gone!

I made these for a side dish to our Easter dinner, and they were good! I substituted 1/2 C seasoned bread crumbs for the corn flakes, and the points came out the same. I used shredded potatoes, as the store I was at didn’t have the cubed / diced potatoes. I’ll be making these again! Thanks for the recipe!

I made these for Easter brunch. They turned out amazing! I’ve tried another version of this recipe and this one is WAY better. I absolutely love all your recipes. My boyfriend is pretty skeptical when I make “healthy” recipes, but he has liked every recipe that I’ve made from your website (bubble up enchiladas are his fave, he’s learned how to make them too!). Thanks for all your wonderful recipes!

These are amazingly good. My sister’s recipe is similar, but uses a stick of butter. The first time we made it, she said she didnt’ miss the butter at all and it didn’t have all that grease floating everywhere. No one commented on the swaps as being noticeable either. The next time she made it she “insisted” she had to have some butter, so I made mine separate. After dinner she commented that I should have reminded her leaving out the butter was okay & she didn’t miss the flavor. I told her to sprinkle butter buds on her portion if she wanted. We are having it regularly now; without unnecessary fat & still amazing taste. Thanks so much for posting this…I thought I would never get to have it again.

Making these tonight. We also have these every Easter and my dear Aunt always makes them. One of my favorite things! I will have to share this with her. She is doing Weight Watchers too I believe. We just call them cornflake potatoes. LOL

I’m giving these a try tonight with some pork chops. I can’t wait!!!!!!! I know they’re going to be amazing. BTW, I absolutely LOVED the taco bake as well as the chicken enchiladas. The buffalo pulled chicken was a hit as well! We ate them as bbq pita pizzas and bbq chicken nachos. Delicious!

These are delicious! Had them last night…just curious, about how much potatoes are in a serving size (didn’t break it into eights last night since we were serving a crowd). Would you estimate about 2/3 C?

Thank you So Much for lightening up this recipe. My Grandma used to make these for everything from Easter dinner to Xmas morning, and I often have craved them when I am missing her. This allows me to make them, think of her, and not depth-charge my WW mission.

We make these without any topping and I like them better that way. I have stopped using the butter as well. Don’t miss it. Try using Potatoes O’Brien that already has onions and green peppers. It is great
